The Stig Posted January 18, 2008 Report Share Posted January 18, 2008 Reeet got a new frame the other day an Adamant A1, great! My luck is that i ride it once and snap a maggie bolt in the thread, i have tried:-Making a groove for a flat head (no joy)-Drilling it out i.e. 3mm then turn it out No joy)-Heating the frame turning it out (no joy)my next plan is drill it out to M5/6 then tap it. my worries are will the tap be strong enough?? Or any other suggestions. BTW never buy thesehttp://www.tartybikes.co.uk/product.php?id=10041thanks Tom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matt rushton Posted January 18, 2008 Report Share Posted January 18, 2008 What have you actually snapped? The head off the thread? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ladd Posted January 18, 2008 Report Share Posted January 18, 2008 Them bolts are super light and made out of alloy i rounded one off rang tarty they said there only neant to be tight enough to hold the mount on and not let the caliper move.
